How to disable notification panel on the right? V. 7.0.2
How to disable notification panel on the right? V. 7.0.2
This is very irritating. There is a notification panel on the right side. I have not found any way to disable it. I would really, really, like to disable it. Am I missing something, is there a way to disable this?

In VirtualBox 7.0.2, there is no way to disable the Notification Center that I know of.

Thanks for the reply.
That seems like an oversight or mistake. I hope VirtualBox devs change that soon.

Running this command on my 7.0.4 Windows host did not suppress the right pop-put notification screen. Did you test this?QAP_ wrote:Run in CMD or Terminal:Code: Select all

There is a big warning at the beginning of the file to not do what you're suggesting. Do you know why?QAP_ wrote:Or, edit VirtualBox.xml

Suppressing messages can help somewhat to avoid the Notification Center in the VM's window, but the OP wanted to get rid of the Notification Center in the VirtualBox Manager.
Removing the Notification Center's extradata settings shouldn't do anything, because VirtualBox uses default values then.

Yes, but my idea is create a workaround, while virtualbox doesn't create one for now, it should help.scottgus1 wrote:QAP_ wrote:There is a big warning at the beginning of the file to not do what you're suggesting. Do you know why?

I never said it would remove everything.

QAP_, Please post a screenshot of what you see (or don't see) when these commands are in place on your PC. They don't get rid of the right-side pop-up notifications in my Virtualbox 7.0.4 that ben79 wants to get rid of.

Re: How to disable notification panel on the right? V. 7.0.2
Thanks for the pics. However, note the screenshot I posted of the main Virtualbox window, and the notification that we want to block. Does your command set disappear this right-side notification in the main Virtualbox window?
Re: How to disable notification panel on the right? V. 7.0.2
Well, when I click to boot a vm, it actually shows "Powering VM up...", after that it stays "hidden" (Windows 10.)scottgus1 wrote:Thanks for the pics.

In Linux, as a host, only the icon appears, without the "Powering VM up..." and after that it stays "hidden".
print from a linux host:

Re: How to disable notification panel on the right? V. 7.0.2
OK, that's interesting!
In my tests on a Windows host, after taking the command off, I find there is actually two right-side popups: One in the main Virtualbox window, and one in the VM window. Your commands get rid of the common error messages that may show in the VM window that used to show as bubbles at the top of the VM window but now show in the VM window's right-side notification bar. When these error messages are commanded to not show, the VM window's right-side notification bar in the VM window does not show.
However, the right-side notification in the main Virtualbox window does not disappear, whether the commands are in place or not. It shows the "Powering Up the VM" regardless of the commands.
I don't have a Linux host to test.
So by suppressing messages that may show in the VM window's right-side notification bar via the commands, the right-side notification bar in the VM window does not show. If any messages not suppressed want to show, the right-side bar in the VM window will probably come back.
But, at least depending on host, the right-side notification bar in the main Virtualbox window does not get suppressed by the commands. Clicking the [!] button does not hide the notification bar in the main Virtualbox window in a Windows host.
